Here we go again

I'm 99% sure I ovulated on Sunday. I base this on the fact that I almost always get a +OPK, followed by an O dip (either the next day or two days post- +OPK), followed by a temp spike (always the day after the dip). Since my temp on Monday was higher than my previous seven recorded temps, I'm going to assume I did actually ovulate on Sunday.

I still can't believe I missed these two most crucial temps ever! Do'h!

Normally this wouldn't really matter, and I would just deal with not knowing and wait out the 2ww. However, this cycle I am supposed to start my progesterone at 3 dpo, so its kind of crucial to know when that would be! I'm planning to start tomorrow, so we will see how this goes.

On a random semi-related note, I also had a decent amount of brown spotting today. I have never had spotting so early in my cycle before, so I am wondering if maybe it could be related to ovulation? Maybe I really did ovulate a litter this month! lol

I would assume you did ovulate, and if you are off by one or two days with the progesterone, does it really matter? I wonder, I don't really know. With my IUI's I can't remember when I would start the progesterone, but I don't think it was on a precise day, it might have been the day after the iui, really wish I could remember now. All I know it was not as crucial as with the IVF where the embryos have to match the maturation of the endometrium.

Thanks Christina! :-) And MrsH, I did not even think to ask whether the timing of my progesterone really mattered. What you said makes sense though and makes me feel better about potentially being a day off. Thanks!

About Me

I'm a twenty-something wife to my wonderful DH. After more than a year of waiting, we finally started trying for our first child in January 2010. We were thrilled to discover we were expecting in May 2010. Sadly, we lost Baby M at 7 weeks in June 2010. Three chemical pregnancies and a diagnosis of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss followed. In March 2011, we found out we were expecting Baby C, and she was born that November. We are so in love and so thankful for our little miracle!
